TD Talk

TD Talk is a speech generating app for literate adults with communication disabilities such as multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and select ALS cases. It empowers people to talk using just their eyes or fingers. Choose from a large selection of languages and voices to express yourself as naturally as possible. Engage more actively in conversations with fast, predictive sentence construction, easy in-sentence editing, and the ability to display your typed text to your conversation partner in the rear-facing Partner Window. Use a custom, synthetic clone of your natural voice, with a choice from among several leading voice banking providers. TD Talk is pre-loaded on TD I-Series, TD Pilot and SC Tablet.

Overview

Talk with your eyes

Generate a voice using TD Talk combined with eye tracking technology. Compose sentences and activate a synthetic voice with just your eyes.


Talk with your hands

Converse naturally

Participate naturally in dialogue by displaying your typed text to your conversation partner in the rear-facing Partner Window. Select your language of choice and switch to it seamlessly.


Express yourself quickly

Remain an active part of any conversation with the ability to use predicted text and edit errors within a sentence. Maintain a more natural speaking pace with Quick Messages, pre-programmed common and custom phrases such as ‘I need help’ and ‘wait please, I’m typing’.


Sound like yourself

Express yourself more fluidly thanks to phrase prediction, which learns and adapts to your personal communication style. Choose from a selection of pre-recorded synthetic voices to find one you most identify with or create a custom one with voice banking.


Bank your voice

Preserve the way you sound with voice banking, a tool for creating a personal synthetic voice that mimics your natural one. Simply create or use an existing custom voice from either Acapela (try my-own-voice for three months free), Model Talker or The Voice Keeper, then import it to TD Talk.
